Vandals target councillor's house

The Coopers said they fear other attacks

Police are investigating after a councillor standing for re-election in Bristol had her house vandalised.

Liberal Democrat councillor Ann Cooper woke on Monday morning to find her home in Filwood had been daubed with red paint and offensive slogans.

Mrs Cooper's husband Ian said the incident had made the whole family extremely upset.

"It made me angry. We've got two young children - it's not fair on the kids," he told the BBC.

As a result of the incident, the Coopers say they are not distributing further campaign posters in the neighbourhood for fear of similar attacks.
